Anyone got anything for me? Just want to know before I make a purchase.

Unless I'm looking at something completely different, that motherboard price is looking awfully high for this type of build. Also how desperate are you for a SSD? You could always ditch that, get a cheaper mobo, then spend the spare cash on a higher tier GPU? Also are you reusing the PSU from your old build? How many watts is it?

Yeah Im reusing the psu and is at 500 w, and purchasing a new motherboard. What would you reccomend gpu wise, and yes I would like to keep the ssd.

I would have to know what your actual budget is. If you have the cash, you can go for a GTX 970, but only because that's what your psu can handle at 500w. Otherwise I would of recommended something like the r9 390 if you also upgraded the psu. If those prices are out of the question, I'd say the 960 is just fine then. But if you can manage to muster up the extra cash, it could make a big difference.

If you're looking to squeeze as much cash out of each part, you might not even need the cpu cooler. If you're reusing the cpu, clearly you've lived without a non stock cooler all this time. Use the $35 on the GPU and perhaps get the 212 EVO another time? (same for the SSD too, even though I know you want it).

If you have time my budget is about $600. I want to keep it under that. If you want to mess around and see what you come up with.. You don't have to but, if you would like to be my guest!

So that's $600 not including case, psu, or cpu right?
